Item information:

A quick walk from Central Station takes us to the Royal Palace
Climbing the ramp to the central entrance, we are greeted by many windows and a member of the Royal Guard
The members of the Guard are much friendlier than British guards (A young lady getting her picture taken with a Royal Guard at the entrance to the Royal Palace, Stockholm.)
Some of the youngsters aren't sure they should get close to a guard
We arrive just before noon, in time to see the changing of the guard.
This guard had a tough job trying to keep the parade ground clear of tourists.
Shiny!  Pointy as well.  I might be able to see myself...
